USAn Box Office bewitched by Maleficent

Image Through the efforts of the sorceress Maleficent, the USA distribution showed an excellent result last weekend: the collection of cinemas for the seventh time in a year exceeded the billion mark and amounted to 1.13 billion rubles. Disney's fairy tale was the only newcomer to make it into the top 5 of the domestic box office.

The top five for the weekend (October 17-20) is as follows:

1. "Maleficent: Lady of Darkness"

Week at the box office: 1
Added: 706.2 million rubles.
Total fees: RUB 706.2 million.
Sank / Rise: - (-)

If in the USA the sequel won with a depressing result, in USA the second "Maleficent" showed its best side. The film attracted huge audiences, making it one of the most powerful starts in October and improving the performance of the first part by more than 50%. No one expected such agility from the "Lady of Darkness", and if "Maleficent" in 2014 completed its domestic rental at the level of 1.31 billion rubles, then its continuation will earn much more.

2. "Joker"

Week at the box office: 3
Added: 190.3 million rubles.
Total fees: 1.64 billion rubles.
Sag / Rise: -1 (-54.8%)

Despite the emergence of a strong competitor, the Joker suffered relatively little damage. And although the local battle with Maleficent, the tape of Todd Phillips lost, she won a completely different war and became the highest-grossing film adaptation of DC comics. Moreover, "Joker" is striding over the heads and already occupies the fifth line in the list of the main hits of this year.

3. "Everest"

Week at the box office: 3
Added: 80.1 million rubles.
Total fees: 611.7 million rubles.
Sag / Rise: -1 (-58.7%)

As expected, "Everest" easily stepped over the cartoons "Angry Birds in Cinema 2" (589.9 million rubles) and "Toy Story 4" (554.3 million rubles). Considering that the animation is a completely original project without being tied to any popular franchise, such a result is an excellent achievement.

4. "Gemini"

Week at the box office: 2
Added: 52.7 million rubles.
Total fees: 272.4 million rubles.
Sag / Rise: -1 (-70%)

Action Ang Lee is not doing well. During the week, the number of venues where the film is shown has increased, but at the same time its fees have dropped by 70%. Analysts suspect that Gemini will only have a milestone of 300 million in its teeth, which is a failure for such a large-scale project.

5. "Girls are different"

Week at the box office: 2
Added: 20.3 million rubles.
Total fees: 89.9 million rubles.
Sank / Rise: -1 (-61.7%)

Another failure is outlined in USA cinema. The comedy of Sarik Andreasyan is losing its audience and risks becoming one of the worst creations in the director's career, and even before his previous work, the drama "The Unforgiven" with its collection of 403 million rubles, girls who are different are very far away.
